Product Spotlight: Dimensions Corrugated

September 2, 2010 By Rebecca Cross 2 Comments

I would like to interrupt our regular blogging program to bring you some close up shots of the new Parisian Anthology Dimensions products.  We never got the chance to show you these during sneak peek week so I am back today to show you how fun these can be!

I made these tags before we left for Chicago and we used them as part of our Parisian Anthology display during the latest trade show.  These tags were quick and easy to make and I had a lot of fun peeling back the paper layer to reveal the “corrugated flutes” that were hiding underneath.  The really cool thing about these pieces is that you can use them just the way they are and they look like regular die cut elements (similar to chipboard) – however if you want to sand them, peel them and distress them you can do that too!

Lets take a closer look:

To color the tags I used glimmer mist and distress inks in layers!  I also misted the corrugated pieces after peeling away the edges.  As you can see the misting sprays and inks cover the paper beautifully and allow the resist design to magically appear more vibrant.

I also embellished the tags with the tickets and dangle elements in clear!  So fun!

So what now?   Well I had a bunch of tags lying here on my desk so I decided to incorporate one of them into this layout!  I have to admit I stole Heidi’s idea and wrapped the dress form girl with the ruffled darling to make it look like she was wearing a skirt.  Heidi embellished and framed one of the corrugated dress form girls at the show and I think everyone fell in love with it on the spot.  Mine isn’t nearly as amazing as hers (see below) but I did love the idea of creating a little skirt on this page to mimic the photo.

If you just don’t have it in you to peel away the layers of the corrugated pieces then feel free to ink them or colorize them like I did with the dimensions alpha for the page title above.  The pieces dry quick and you get to enjoy the fact that you can “colorize” them to match your project.  And…do I even have to convince you to get these papers in bulk?????

These items also come in a reusable corrugated box and each set includes over 50+ pieces!  Look for them in stores soon!

Now…back to your regular blog programming.

Get To Know Guest Artist Sarah Parker

August 27, 2010 By Rebecca Cross 27 Comments

Hey y’all! My name is Sarah and I am totally giddy with excitement to be here today! I guess you could say that paper-crafting is my first passion, but only if you don’t count my incredible family first. I joined the online craft community in December 2008, diving in “head first,” and I haven’t been able to stop since!

I am married to my hero and best friend, Sie. Together we have a beautiful daughter, Sydney, and a fun-loving son, Sie, II. When I’m not lounging with them, I love getting my hands dirty in my hideaway craft room. Before I share, I have to send many warm thanks to the wonderful Pink Paislee team for giving me the opportunity to create with their gorgeous product and share with you all on the blog today.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you all have a fab day! Hugs & Love!

Sarahs Pink Paislee Creations: (featuring Old School)

The cardstock stickers that are sold exclusively in our collection packs include this fun Honor Student label, border sticker and tickets!  So fun for cards!

We love how Sarah placed the press ons right over our weathered wood letters on this layout!  Such a fun and easy technique for you to try on your next layout.

Sarah also distressed our felt doodads to grunge things up a bit!

I was never the teacher’s pet but this is such a cute card!  Love the flip note fringe at the top!

More fun stickers and felt doodads.

Who knew you could turn our old school papers into a holiday card?  This project totally surprised me and I have to admit…I never would have thought to put these together –  but…Sarah does it with ease and the metallic foil on our clear cards are the perfect accent with that gold doily!  Amazing and creative use of our papers.  It does prove how versatile our papers can be!

um…yes we are in love with our new glitter stickers!  A must have!

We are huge fans of Sarah’s work and we are thrilled to be able to showcase her designs on our blog today!  Thank you so much Sarah for creating with such passion!
